Story
1 year old (estimated) Neutered Male  58 lbs. Has done well with another dog  No known experience with cats or kids Broly is a sweet, lovable ham of a boy who quickly bonds with his person and shows unwavering loyalty. He’s incredibly affectionate and thrives on companionship, always happiest when he’s close to someone he loves. Broly enjoys spending time outside with his doggie pals, whether that’s playing together, going for relaxing walks, or simply soaking up the sun during a good sunbathing session. He walks nicely on leash, though he may pull a bit when he gets excited. Broly already knows “sit,” and once he feels comfortable and happy, his playful side shines—especially when squeaky toys are involved. More Information Coming Soon! The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.April 3, 2026, 12:02 pm
